GREEN BAY, Wis. – A few days before the 2024 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said he wasn’t necessarily looking for a big safety to pair with the playmaking veteran Xavier McKinney.
True to his word, Gutekunst during the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday night selected Javon Bullard. The Georgia star is about 2 inches shorter and 15 pounds lighter than another of the top available safeties, Washington State’s Jaden Hicks.
However, Bullard was called a “little stick of dynamite” by Georgia coach Kirby Smart for a reason.
